FA Cup quarter-final draw details

Wednesday 28 February 2024 09:28

The date and time for the Emirates FA Cup quarter-final draw has been confirmed, and it is set to take place ahead of Manchester United’s tie with Nottingham Forest.

Erik ten Hag’s team will face the fellow Premier League club in the fifth round of the competition on Wednesday night, and we will know which side awaits the winner shortly before kick-off.

The last-eight draw is scheduled to be conducted from 19:00 GMT, 45 minutes before our game at The City Ground gets under way.

For viewers in the UK, the draw will be shown on ITV4, as part of the build-up to Chelsea’s clash with Leeds at Stamford Bridge (19:30 GMT KO). 

Meanwhile, Forest v United will be broadcast live on BBC One from The City Ground, where our all-time record goalscorer Wayne Rooney will be part of the TV studio line-up.

The aforementioned fixtures are two of the four matches that will be played in the competition on Wednesday, with Wolves facing Brighton & Hove Albion in an all-top-flight showdown (19:45 GMT) and Liverpool hosting Southampton at Anfield (20:00 GMT).

On Monday evening, the fifth round kicked off with Championship side Coventry City advancing to the last eight for the first time since 2009, following a 5-0 victory over sixth-tier Maidstone United, who were the lowest-ranked team left in the tournament.

Three teams were confirmed on Tuesday night, with Championship leaders Leicester City upsetting Bournemouth, Manchester City beating Luton Town 6-2 and Newcastle United edging past Blackburn Rovers via a penalty shootout.

The quarter-final stage is due to be played across the weekend of 16/17 March, with Ten Hag’s Reds currently set to host Sheffield United in the Premier League on the Saturday.

A United win against Forest would see that Old Trafford game rescheduled. Next month’s international break will immediately follow the dates above.
